Technic Launcher not working/Technic wont install

Question

Ok I try to download Technic Launcher but it just says Checking Launcher Version. I looked threw the forums it says Get Java 7. My Windows 7 is a 64 bit so I got the 64 bit. It still doesnt open and does the same thing.

I can open it threw the jar folder it Appdata,but If I can find a way I rather open it threw the way its intended.

Also When I open it threw the Appdata I type my username and password in,click the techic and log in. It starts to download the files but always ends with Download Fails maybe half way threw the instillation. So Can someone help with these two problems
